Late the other night, so we didn't get the message till the morning. Again wandering at night - luckily a carer in a nearby room heard the 'bang'. We were met at the CH door by a carer who said we would get a terrible shock. But it wasn't really, since she looked equally terrible after the last bad fall (that really WAS a shock) - almost her entire face livid dark purple and red again. But she was in bed this time, and looking so frail and pathetic.
Yet when I asked if she'd like a drink the answer was a very clear, 'NO!' (apparently she'd just had a lot of the favourite pineapple juice) They think she might have broken her nose, but wouldn't keep still at A&E for an X ray. But she says she isn't in any pain, though they are giving her painkillers anyway.
Oh, dear
The CH is very good, but there's no way they can stop her wandering- not unless they tie her to chair or bed - and she's so wobbly nowadays, and simply can't remember to use a frame.
I'll go in again later with some chocolate...
